'He's really having a tough time': Tracy Morgan 'struggling' through slow recovery after deadly crash on New Jersey Turnpike
Tracy Morgan still has a long recovery ahead following the devastating June 7 accident in New Jersey that claimed the life of his dear friend, James 'Jimmy Mack' McNair.
The former 30 Rock star was released from a rehabilitation centre last month but his progress has been slow, People is reporting.
Morgan, 45, is undergoing physical, occupational and psychological therapy at his home in Cresskill, New Jersey, where he was spotted in a wheelchair looking thin and gaunt in mid-July.

It hasn't been easy for the comedian whose lawyer, New York-based Benedict P. Morelli, confessed to People: 'He's really having a tough time and he's struggling.'
Morgan is dealing with the aftermath of injuries that included trauma to the brain, several face fractures, several cracked ribs and a broken leg.
Morelli told People: 'He's making incremental process, but they'll have to wait another two months before they can assess him cognitively.'
